Cranially approached radical lymph node dissection around the middle colic vessels in laparoscopic colon cancer surgery
2015
Purpose
Laparoscopic lymph node (LN) dissection around the middle colic vessels is technically demanding, thus raising controversy regarding the role of laparoscopic surgery for transverse colon cancer. We herein describe a cranial approach method to perform radical LN dissection around the middle colic vessels. The key characteristic of this approach is early division of middle colic vessels prior to mobilization of the colon.
